Giroud ready to challenge Alexis for starting berth

The Frenchman has started just one game this season and has found himself behind Alexis Sanchez as Arsenal's main striker this season.

It had been rumoured that Giroud may be on his way out of Arsenal in January, but the striker says that he is not worried about his future.

"I do not have any doubts about my future at Arsenal," Giroud told 'Telefoot'.

"There is always competition for places. There are a lot of attackers at every big club.

"At the moment, the coach prefers Sanchez up front, also because I have been injured. I just hope to get playing time again now. Alexis and I are different types of attackers and the coach has to make a decision.

"But I intend to come back even stronger".
